This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the
d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022 …

Rigid terdentate 'pincer'ligands containing a bridgehead N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)
donor attract considerable interest as spectators in transition metal complexes with broad …

The special electronic configuration of phosphorus atoms endows organophosphorus
reagents with unique chemical properties, which enable them to be used to catalyze various …

Abstract Nitroso compounds, R–N= O, are common intermediates in organic synthesis, and
are typically amenable to storage and manipulation at ambient temperature under aerobic …

A rare oxyphosphinidene (Me—OP) has been generated in the triplet ground state through
either photolysis (266 nm) or flash-vacuum pyrolysis (FVP, 700° C) of …

The structures and reactivities of organic phosphinidene chalcogenides have been mainly
inferred from trapping or complexation experiments. Phosphinidene chalcogenide …

We expand upon the synthetic utility of anionic rhenium complex Na [(BDI) ReCp](1, BDI= N,
N'-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-3, 5-dimethyl-β-diketiminate) to generate several rhenium …

The phosphinidene-bridged complex [Mo2Cp2 (μ-PR*)(CO) 4](R= 2, 4, 6-C6H2tBu3)
experiences an intramolecular C− H bond cleavage from a tBu group to give the phosphide …

Silanones (OSiR2) are highly reactive species that readily convert to oligomeric siloxane (O–
SiR2) n. The coordination of silanones to transition metal fragments to afford silanone …

Here we report the synthesis of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilised phosphinidene
oxide by the controlled oxygenation of a phosphinidene under ambient conditions. This …
